Tonight we played with amateur mentality. Our lack of intensity throughout the game was inexcusable. Our players should be ashamed of the performance they put in based on who they were playing.

FC Tucson players piled into vans Tuesday afternoon to begin its journey to San Antonio. While FC Tucson’s destination is The Alamo City, its plans are to go even farther. The team will play NASL club San Antonio Scorpions tonight at brand-new Toyota Field in the second round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. And has a chance to become the first Arizona team to reach the third round in the tournament’s 100-year history.
Phoenix FC experienced a miserable 17-day stretch, going winless in four matches played in that span. Phoenix FC is also on a three-match losing streak, playing all three games within six days.
